Ore Ga Suki Nano Wa Imouto Dakedo Imouto Janai Volume 6 Epilogue

Epilogue

It was April. A new school year was
starting, and I had become a second-year. I say that, but nothing had
really changed so far, and I was still walking the same route to
school.

…Or at least that’s how it should
be, but…

“It’s really spring now,
Onii-chan.”

I looked over towards the source of
that voice. Walking next to me was a person who wasn’t there in the
last school year. Suzuka was wearing the student uniform of
Nanamisaka and looking up at the sky.

“…Hm? What’s wrong, Onii-chan?”

Maybe because she had noticed my gaze,
Suzuka tilted her head in confusion. Neither her hairstyle nor her
height had changed. Only her uniform had, but even so, the atmosphere
around her was completely different for some reason.

…How do I say it? She looks more
grown up, and somehow rather unfamiliar….

Because I had become entranced while
looking at her, the conversation had gotten a bit awkward. Suzuka for
her part only said “Onii-chan is so weird,” while letting out a
small giggle.

…Really, my little sister is just
too beautiful for her own good.

Maybe it was because of that different
atmosphere, but I ended up thinking that. And, while we made our way
towards the school, the number of students in our field of view grew
by the second.

…Is it just my imagination or all
they all glancing towards us (or rather Suzuka)…? Hmm…?

In that moment, a soft feeling pressed
against my arm, and I looked over to find…

“Wha—?! Y-You, what are you
doing…?!”

Suzuka, who was still walking forwards,
had suddenly grabbed my arm.

“C-Calm down, please. This is for
research, of course,” Seemingly trying to hide her embarrassment,
she looked straight at me.

“R-Research…”

“In the next installation of my
novel, the brother and sister will also start going to the same
school. So this should be the perfect chance to gather some new
data,” Suzuka proclaimed as she averted her gaze with flushed
cheeks.

…I-I mean, we can do our research at
any time, so is there really any reason to do it on the first day of
the school year…?

Of course, that single action gathered
the attention of everyone around us. And it certainly didn’t help
that Suzuka was a beauty to behold… Some of the gazes even started
to hurt…

“W-We’re really getting stared at,
here…”

“I-I don’t mind. I-It’s for
research, after all.”

My willpower isn’t as strong as
yours, you know… And you’d probably hate it if weird rumours
started going around…

As I was thinking that, another similar
feeling appeared on my right arm — or rather, one that felt more
voluptuous than Suzuka’s side.

…T-This is—?!

“G-Good morning, Yuu.”

“M-Mai? Why are you here?”

“H-Himuro-san… Good morning…”

“M-Morning, Suzuka-san. I’m looking
forward to this year.”

“F-Forget about that, what kind of
position is this…?!” I stepped in between them and asked Mai
after they had finished calmly (?) exchanging their introductions. We
were already standing out, but now that the school’s number one
beauty is also here, we’re gathering even more attention. And those
gazes from those bastards were hurting even more…!

“T-That should be obvious, it’s for
my research!”

“W-What did you say?! Himuro-san is
doing research…?”

“Yeah. My novel from the rom-com
festival got so much attention that my editor advised me to try
expanding my horizons in that direction even more. And since I will
be writing a rom-com sometime in the future, I thought that I would
gather some data right now while I can… Just like Towano Chikai is
doing.”

“Grrr…!” Suzuka grit her teeth at
that statement.

“A-And also the first day of school
hasn’t even started yet, and Yuu is already doing research with
Suzuka-san, after all. Since my goal is to make you excited the most
by my novel, I cannot give up here.”

“…No way…! I’m the only one
who’s allowed to do research with Onii-chan!”

“I-I’m just doing this research for
personal reasons… Anyway, I will be continuing my research on you,
Yuu, so you’d better be prepared!” Mai declared and strengthened
her grip on my arm.

And, so as to not lose against that, so
did Suzuka.

…Please take it easy on me, will you?

Suzuka is now attending the same school
as me, while Mai is still going strong with her stalker activities…
What will happen now? No, I shouldn’t think about that. What’s
most important is my dream of being a light novel author. In order to
achieve that, I have to find that one thing that I want to write
about the most in the world!

—Or, that’s what I thought, but…

“H-Himuro-san? No matter how much
that this is just for research, people will surely misunderstand, so
you should probably hold back a bit here, don’t you think?”

“S-Suzuka-san too. Shouldn’t you,
as his little sister, keep a little bit more distance between you?”

Y-You guys…! Can you at least not
fight like this with me in the middle of it?!
